Last Battle

The end of Arda. The Dagor Dagorath, the great final battle at which the forces of the brothers ManwÃ« and Melkor will face one another, and Arda will be unmade. Actually, The Silmarillion never specifically states where the Last Battle will take place, though there is one hint. AkallabÃªth tells us that Ar-PharazÃ´n and his warriors are imprisoned in the Caves of the Forgotten 'until the Last Battle and the Day of Doom.' The fact that the Caves are located in Aman strongly suggests that the battle would have to take place there. This is apparently confirmed by several references in The History of Middle-earth that place the Last Battle in Valinor itself.
